Sorry if this isn't the right place for this question. I don't know where to turn. Stackoverflow is great, I have learned a lot! I even have a shortcut for googleing "site:stackoverflow.com" :)
The only problem is that I sometimes would need quicker help.
I spend to many hours on Google, trying to find the "HOW TO" I need for my projects. I am very stubborn and can sit for days trying to find the information, away prioritize all other things.
I know there are schools and books that probably would save me some time, but that just isn't my cup if tea (not an option). I want to learn by doing.
I know there are websites where you can hire a programmer for a projekt. But the thing is I want to build the code myself, controling and understanding every part myself. Also the question I have are often to small for hireing a programmer.
What I would need is to have access to a expert/experts in different fields, eg. PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, htaccsess (above all PHP). Maybe a mentor is a good word for it.
I have no problem sharing the questions and answers. For example I would have know problem asking my questions on stackoverflow. Actually it would somethimes be good if there could be more opinions and comments then they guy I hire.
I am willing to pay a monthly fee of 100 USD or something like that.
I want to be able to communicate using mail, Skype and stackoverflow.com.
The person/persons don't have to be available every day.
The person/persons don't have to write and explain everything for me. Since they know the answer they might be able to Google it better than me and find a website that explains it quick and easy. The goal is only to have me learn and understand.
Any tips on where I can turn?
Thanks for reading!
